Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS)

Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) is a dry needling therapy that targets chronic pain, muscle tightness, and dysfunction. IMS promotes pain relief, muscle relaxation, and improved function by inserting fine, sterile needles into specific trigger points or tight muscle bands. The treatment works by stimulating natural pain-relieving chemicals, enhancing blood flow, and reducing inflammation in the affected areas. IMS can help with a variety of conditions, including:

• Chronic pain
• Muscle tightness
• Muscle dysfunction
• Restricted range of motion
• Inflammation

Individuals experiencing persistent pain, muscle stiffness, or limited mobility can benefit from IMS as an alternative to medication-based pain management. Human Integrated Performance now offers IMS or dry needling therapy at our multidisciplinary health clinic in West Edmonton. Talk to a professional to find out if IMS is right for you.
